Scientific Glassblowing Lesson1 Part 1

This is a tutorial of how to control a gather of hot glass. Instead of hot glass honey is used to learn the proper hand positions and rotations. My original video was too long (new channel). I have split this lesson on gathers into multiple parts (more to come soon).

I like this tutorial. Recognize the problems and techniques, good to take this time to reflect on how to improve. Great simulator!

Great!

[@cwwisk]

This is a really great tip when starting.

I read about this method to practice rotations in Bandhu Dunham's book Contemporary Lampworking.

Got it. Keep spinning the punty. Let's make some flames!

As I tell my students. You must learn to crawl before you can crawl.

10 minutes for 'keep the rod rotating' might be a bit much, maybe cut it to 2 minutes and use it as the intro to another lesson?

[@ScientificGlassblowing]

You are not wrong. However, part of the lesson is that you must keep rotating the honey and rotating, and rotating. Me showing a super clip felt like cheating.
